Heard in a meeting


"People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it."


"Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused."


"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."


"Don't say the world owes you. The world owes you nothing. It was here first."


"Prayer is not asking. It's a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It's better in prayer to have a heart without words, than words without heart."

    Here's one of mine to share: Blessed are the Flexible for they shall not be Bent out of Shape.

    I like all of them. But, as a serious Al Anon, the interrupting one REALLY speaks to me!

    Wow, those are great quotes. I really liked the first one and it made me think a lot about the people in my life who are not super supportive of my decision to stop drinking. Thanks for posting these!

    Syd, I copied it so I could see it again, how true, how wonderful! Thanks.

    I like the last quote the best because I can really relate to it. There are so many times I just don't have the words, but I ask God to hear them anyway. He knows what I need even if I can't express it myself.

    "Don't say the world owes you. The world owes you nothing. It was here first."

    Sadly, too many people in our day and age think things are "owed" to them.
